BBC Get Inspired's Chris Whyatt in Romford: Amazing action already here at the U16 boys semis in Romford. Buckhurst Hill beat Bad Boys in the final of the first round last time - on penalties - but in a regional rematch today, it wasn't so close. Buckhurst were rampant... 5-2 winners, with aptly-named Jordan their marauding star.
Here's Nick with his post-match report to camera...
